What will be your first Handgun purchase of 2005

[AirForceShooter]

Springer 1911, WWII

I need one soo bad

Well, was supposed to be a HK P2000sk in 9mm but ended up being a HK P9S in 9mm instead. The P2SK will likely have to wait until April now after bonuses are out.

When this thread was first opened I was pretty undecided. Now I'm fairly certain I'll be picking up a G23 in the next couple weeks. Local shop/range is having "Glock Days" so they will be discounted, plus a free T-shirt . Unless I change my mind and go for a G30, either way been wanting to add a Glock to my (small) collection.

Picked up a 92FS been wanting one of those.And dang I shoot it better than I do my Hi-power and I have small hands...

 

[mrkubota]

Pick up a S&W 500 next week... thinking about a .454 for next month...(doggone CA one-gun-month)

 

[JeepDriver]

Bought it yesterday,

HK USP in 40. Came with 3 LE marked 13 rounders Paid $630

 

[litework]

I'm trying to find a Colt NRM. I'll take either a series 70 or series 80 (whichever I find first). I really don't want another stainless steel model and that seems to be what everyone has.

 

[Gunsnrovers]

Picked up a Springfield GI on January 2nd (or I should say I paid for one and am waiting out my PRK 10 days....)

I got tired of trying to comfortably carry either my 1911 or Ruger P89 so Saturday I found a Taurus PT145 Millenium Pro that was calling my name.

I had shot a few hundred rounds from a friends PT145 and I was suprised how accurate it was for a small barrel and I didn't have any problems with it. No failures of any kind with a mix of bullet weights and types. For having a 10-round double-stack mag, I found it nice that the width of the grip is only about 1 1/8"!!

 

[Universal]

Either a new GLOCK 17 or a used SIG 226.

 

[Bearlaker]

A Ruger P89, 93, 94, or 95.

I've got a CZ 40P on lay-away right now, and I'll have it in my sweaty hands by the end of the week.

Then I need to replace the P32 I gave to my father...maybe one in hard chrome this time...

Next: A CZ 75 Compact .40

I've got a CZ 40P on lay-away right now, and I'll have it in my sweaty hands by the end of the week.

Excellent choice. Very accurate CZ. I might suggest a stronder recoil spring, like something in the 20lb to 22lb range from Wolff Gunsprings. If you decide to get one, you will want to order one for the full-size CZ 75B. You will need to trim a few coils off one end for it to work. I took off 4 which is about average for those who have replaced recoils springs.

As for me, my next purchase will be the CZ 75 Compact .40.

[Langenator]

I've pretty much got all the affordable pistols I want. (Sorry, I'm not laying out $1200 for the Kimber Eclipse 10mm Limited Edition).

Only two on the list right now:

Bulgarain Makarov
CZ-52 (or two)

 

[Ala Dan]

Another Snubby

a very minty S&W Airweight model 37

Best Wishes,

I couldn't wait till the end of the week, so I went down to my dealer and picked it up today. I already ordered a couple of the stainless rods from MSC to replace the guide rod (in case I screw one up) and I'll be ordering my new recoil spring sometime this week.

If everything goes as planned I'll be able to test fire it later this week or early next week....

 

[hairtrigger]

I just confirmed my purchase of a Ruger Super Redhawk in 454 Casull

 

[bnolsen]

Umm....just started moving on buying an EAA Witness 10mm compact wonder finish. So much for the New Year's resolution (they're meant to be broken anyways, right?)

 

[esskay]

Kimber TLE/RL II!

 

[bnolsen]

That grip looks strange....and it's making me hungry...

 

[Lennyjoe]

Previous quote;

A revolver of some sort. Thinking of a .44 or .454

Ok, so I was wrong. I picked up a Taurus 24/7 in 45ACP. I couldnt pass it up. Got it on sale for $375 and thought I'd give it a try.

 

[TonyB]

XD 40 subcompact.....just need to scrounge the money....

 

[GEM]

What's a Sig mosquito?

Anyway:

I can't decide -

A. Springfield 1911 - should have a 1911
B. Glock 26 as compliment to my 19
C. Kahr PM9 - alternative smaller 9mm which might be pocketable unlike Glock
D. SW 432 - just because!

Can't get them all or will see outraged wife!! I think I can manage two!

 

[R.H. Lee]

I'm thinkin' about a revolver with a 6" barrel. Maybe a GP100.
